I think it was Washington State that had a ballot measure to defund all public libraries, on the grounds that Amazon is available to everybody, and has all of the books one wishes to read.
I rarely go to the local library, but that is because it has neither the funding to purchase the books that I'm most interested in reading, nor the ability to do inter-library loans.
